Putting on a lace fronted wig

     A lace fronted wig is usually more fragile and more gentle than a normal acrylic wig. This is the reason why we need to be much more careful when applying them. The principle of applying the front lace wigs is still the same as for the acrylic wigs, the only difference when applying them is that after you applied the wig you need to make disappear the lace from the front.

Tools:

• Hair brush
• Tail comb
• Kirby pins
• A wig cap
• The wig 
• spirit gum
• Sponge

How to:

• If the model has medium or long hair, you can either take small square sequences of hair and twist them around the 2 fingers and then pin the with kirby pins making an X shape, or you can make a french plait . It is important that you gather all the hair, especially at the edges.
• Then put the wig cap on the head. Make sure you leave the ears and outside the cap
• With the tail comb try to put under the cap all the hairpieces you have left outside.
• Try also to arrange the cap in a way that the edger are still a bit seen, because you don't want it to be seen under the actual wig.

After that by using the spirit gum, apply gently on the edges of the lace in order to stick (block) the lace on the skin. In this way it becomes invisible. It depends also what kind of lace has that wig, its colour and thickness. If the lace wig is used for films then you'll have to cut the lace really close to the hairline.

With the sponge you take of and blend the excess of the glue.
